A good example of the calculation in practice is when an N gauge track needs to rise to cross over another track. It will require raising approximately 5 cm, so simply take that height and multiply it by 50 to give the length of incline needed, in this case, 250 cm (2.5 m). But don't forget, you will need to allow for an additional 250 cm if you want the track to drop back to baseboard level on the other side!
